Origin & Philosophy of the Emory Aesthetic Surgery Center

Our confidence and pride about what we do isn’t based on ego. It comes from endless hours of study, many years of experience with our patients and the recognition and leadership we have achieved among our peers. It is confidence based on hard work and understanding, not arrogance.

We began our practice in 1993, but our founder, Dr. T. Roderick Hester M.D., had been a recognized leader in the field of plastic surgery long before that day.

Today, each of our doctors has outstanding, world-class credentials, including training or teaching roles at Emory University School of Medicine.

Our collaborative practice offers our patients the latest techniques and advancements based on knowledge gained from our active participation in the global medical community.

Our center consistently receives the highest certificate of safety ratings from the AAAASF (American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc.) as well as other federal and state medical authorities.

The practice of plastic surgery is a delicate and precise science. The skills and techniques that are used here are performed under the highest quality controls, and our team is composed of seasoned plastic surgeons. This is not a sideline business for us — but a lifelong, focused dedication to excellence. And, we combine our skills with an understanding of our patients and their needs.

This philosophy is reflected in the lovely, nurturing environment of our offices, with suites for overnight recovery that evoke the luxury of a first class hotel.

Our goal is simple — to make each of our patients satisfied with their total experience, not just the procedure.
